The room was lovely, so we'll put together, spacious, and clean. The pool was beautiful and clean too, and had pool towels - just something you didn't need to think of which is great. The staff were thoughtful and considerate and asked about what we might need. Overall it was great, a lovely place to visit.

Perfect staycation! Property is beautiful. The receptionist on check in was welcoming and very helpful, booking us courtesy bus to the pub for dinner. Waking up and seeing such lush greenery outside the patio was very satisfying. The room was cosy. Will definitely visit again.

Disappointing

Floors were still wet after mopping when we arrived at 3pm, sticky feet for kids. Room ok but no grab rail from basic slippy shower, high step. Continental breakfast was the worst I've come across despite my travels on a budget in Eastern Europe.
